It is certainly wrong to be absolutist about statistically derived group differences. So any law that is based on race as a proxy for other characteristics is wrong and immoral. However, that is not something that we left in the past. Affirmative Action IS racist. Claims of white privilege are racist. We live in a country that is incredibly racist against white people, but we have been brainwashed into believing the exact opposite.

Claims of white racism are shoehorned into everything by the left. It is systemic demonization and slander.

But all of that is beside the point. The point is simply that if you deny reality and substitute it with fantasy you can't possibly ever fix any problem. To have any chance you have to be honest and pragmatic, especially when the truth is brutal because that is where people most often go astray. That is why we need the right to run things for now. Until the pendulum swings back and the right goes from simply stating facts to demanding sterilizations and whatever the fuck else. Right now nothing that is considered left wing is in the realm of sanity. There is zero chance of progress.

You have to understand that a bad solution is worse than no solution. If you stick your foot into acid to cure toe fungus you will have a burnt foot with toe fungus. The left is only making things worse.

Well I have to admit that I was open to government-sponsored healthcare (with an allowance for private supplementation) because it seem(ed) to work in Europe. This was all pre-covid. For me the lockdown measures exposed the risks of government-sponsored healthcare and really government-sponsored anything. My political orientation has shifted substantially to the right in the last 6 months. So I have to qualify my support for Warren as being pre-covid (but even 9 months ago I didn't agree with Warren entirely, e.g. "free education" is also an abomination for a number of reasons having to do with issues around compensation and degrading the value of higher degrees). I still think Biden (who I note is pro-lockdown) was the worst of all the realistic candidates, both today and 6 months ago.

As for racism against whites, I agree. If you haven't read this already I highly recommend it: https://newdiscourses.com/2020/09/great-silencing-america-hallmarks-woke-totalitarianism/

There are a lot of claims that go both ways on how good and how bad European style health care is. I don't think a reasonable and unbiased person can rationally deduce which is true. But government control over people is bad, especially when the radicals have proven in cities like Portland and Seattle that they can take control. People think government healthcare means Not-For-Profit, it really doesn't. It just means the huge costs are hidden by putting them all into the "tax" pot with infrastructure and everything else. This misunderstanding then gives them the incorrect belief that government healthcare is cheaper. There really isn't any benefit to society as a whole, and has the huge drawback of putting the government's iron claw on your balls. Don't do what they like and they squeeze, no healthcare for you.

Mandatory vaccines suddenly become the least of your worries. Suddenly your kids are put on hormone blockers without your consent or knowledge because one of their socialist teachers convinced them to say they aren't sure which gender they are. They are already taught where to get birth control no questions asked.

I actually liked Tulsi Gabbard, but she didn't tow the line enough to have a chance at the nomination. The DNC is not about those fee and fair elections. Bernie was robbed in 2016. Personally I can't support any democrat in the current environment. The colleges have brainwashed an insane amount of people. When literal terrorist groups like Antifa can't burn cities with impunity leaving behind the mangled bodies of people who just want to defend themselves and their property we can have another look.
